MIA from the Latest GMO Labeling Battle: The Organic and ‘Natural’ Elite
The Organic and Natural Elite are “missing in action” again.
With just 10 weeks to go before Washington State voters start casting their ballots to decide yes or no on Washington’s critical I-522 GMO labeling initiative, the wealthy corporate giants of the organic food, “natural” products and vitamin supplements industries are still sitting on their wallets.
Will we see a repeat of last year? When these companies talked the talk, but never walked the walk? When they let California’s Proposition 37 initiative to label GMOs fail by a sliver while they made excuses for not helping the campaign?
Or will these wealthy companies – Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Horizon, Silk, Hain and others – companies that spend millions promoting their images so you’ll spend your hard-earned dollars on their products - stand up and be counted this time?
ACTION ALERT
Conscientious Supporter: Thank You Dr. Bronner’s!
We hear it from so many companies. How they really care about their customers. How their products are safe and healthy. How they espouse good, old-fashioned, feel-good values.
How they support consumers’ right to know about GMOs.
But when it comes to actually taking a stand on behalf of consumers, and especially when it comes to putting their money where their mouths are, what do we hear from most CEOs and their PR flacks?
Excuses. One after another.
But not Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps! Dr. Bronner’s, a fifth-generation family-owned business, believes consumers should have the right to know if their food, or other products, contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). So the Bronner Family has donated $1 million so far to YES on I-522, the campaign to pass a GMO labeling initiative in Washington State.
It’s great to know that there are still a few companies out there that have a conscience. They deserve our thanks!
TAKE ACTION: Tell the Bronner Family ‘Thank you!’ for supporting I-522 and our Right to Know!
Say ‘Thanks’ on Dr. Bronner’s Facebook page

When is this land not your land or our land? When the President of the United States and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conspire to open 600 million acres of Federal and Native American land, including our national parks, for fracking.

Happy birthday to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the anti-consumer, anti-environment, anti-workers’ rights lobbying group responsible for introducing 466 bills in 2013.
Like an old reliable Ford 9N hauling its way out of a mud bank, the idea that agriculture can be used as a tool to reverse climate change is starting to gain traction.
